Ingredients
 

  • 1 French baguette (see note 1)
  • 3 figs (small to medium)
  • 24 arugula leaves
  • 10 tablespoons green pesto (see note 2)
  • 1.5 ounces prosciutto (40 grams, see note 3)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the bread into ½ inch (1.5 centimeters) slices. Put them in your toaster (try to fit as many as possible) and toast until they are brown and crispy.
  • Meanwhile, wash the figs and pat them dry with a paper kitchen towel. Cut each one into 8 pieces (first into quarters starting from the stem area, then each quarter in half).
  • To assemble, take one crostini and spread about a teaspoon of pesto over it. Add a small piece of prosciutto, 2 pieces of fig and top it with arugula leaf. Repeat until you are done.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I used one large baguette that was about 24 inches (60 centimeters) long.
  2. Use either shop-bought or homemade green pesto. Basil, parsley or arugula are all delicious options.
  3. The amount of ham you use may vary slightly. This will depend on the amount you put on each toast. I usually use only a little bit so it is not over-powering.
  4. These crostinis are best enjoyed right away but will last up to 4-5 hours. Just note that the crostini toasts will go slightly softer.
  5. Cooking time = toasting in the toaster!
  6. 24 pieces serve 6-8 people. This will depend on many factors: i.e. whether other foods will be served at the party, the type of party and what time of the day they are served.
